Hello! Orb,

I hope everything is fine at your end.

Regarding the upgrading/flashing of my device. What are the things that one could get if he/she flashed her device? In other words why would someone wants to upgrade his/her device?

What I mean by this question is, is there any reason why would a dopod 900 user like me would want to upgrade from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6.1? What are the things that I can do if I will upgrade?

Yes I think there would be some nice applications that can only be installed in Windows Mobile 6.1 or Windows Mobile 6.5 however, if I just install a program that would do a make over of my GUI, SPB mobile shell for instance, everything will be like the same even if it has different Versions of Windows Mobile for I am using the same alternative shell for my device as a GUI.

Any insights? or word of wisdom that could enlightened me? Thank you so much!
[G Tablet General] Dueces99:
For some reason, I'm having the hardest time being able to share the WiFi connection my laptop gets with my Gtab.

On my college campus, wifi signal strength is horrible. For my laptop, I have an external 2000mw with a 7db high gain antennae attached. Currently, I use the software Connectify to turn my laptop connection into a hotspot, then connect to the hotspot via my Gtab.

Now, when it works it works great. But it seems like everytime I re-connect my tab, itll show it connected (full bars) but I get no internet. The only work around Ive found this is to forget the connection, and re-do my setup through Connectify (half the time seems like even this doesn't work).

The problem could very well be Connectify which is why I'm posting this.

Anyone know how to either configure a network connection in Win7 x64 Ultimate to be a hotspot? Or know of software/app that does it (besides Connectify and Virtual Router..something like that) to where I just set it up once, and have no further issues after?

Again, I dont know if this is my ROM or Connectify (leaning towards Connectify since Ive had this issue with every ROM I've tried thus far.

I apologize if there is already info. on this in the forum, but I couldnt find it.

Thanks for any direction you can point me here!

TnT Lite v4.2.5

2.6.32.33-Cyanogenmod Pershoot Kernel
[G Tablet General] justauser:
Connectify is the answer

As far as I know, Connectify is the only sw that can give you an infrastructure htospot for Win7 x64. I use it and it works. have you upgraded to the newest 2.2 release. Fixed a number f the kind of issues you mention. One cavaet: the new stuff seems to interfere with creating VPN connections on the laptop,
[G Tablet General] Dueces99:
Yeah I'm starting to notice that. I stumbled on a guide using Windows 7 feature "netsh" which can enable a hotspot using your existing wifi connection, and I keep getting errors when enabling certain services required by this. Gonna try this again with Connectify off. So you dont have any issues with Connectify as far as connecting to your created hotspot like the ones I described? What do you have your settings set to in your Wireless settings area on your tab? What ROM are you using?

I have Connectify set to Autorun on my laptop, but even then I have yet to boot into Windows, turn on my tab, and have my tab just connect to my hotspot. Everytime I have to re-do the Setup Wizard, along with forget the connection on my tab and log back into that. Even then, that works maybe half the time.

Thanks for any info. you can lend my way!
[G Tablet General] Dueces99:
So apparently, the "netsh" feature is only useful if you are connected through a LAN, then you share that connection via a wifi connection on the same pc. This defeats the purpose in my eyes, unless I missed something here.

Has anyone been able to use this Windows 7 feature with just a wifi connection and no LAN?

Is it possible to get 4g on a non 4g phone, I was interested to know if has to do something with the radio, or do non 4g phones, just don't have the hardware to accomplish that task?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] boogerburns:
Yes its hardware dependent. Its the radio chip that's on the board has to have the frequencies for that carrier.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Syn Ack:
Yeah my buddy has a Captivate that he put a 4G modem on and he gets faster speeds sometimes, but I doubt it fully uses the capabilities of 4G.

Help..!!

Just deleted some old folders that I had in the phone storage & moved all the pics to the SD card, now I cannot access the internal storage and get "Damaged Internal Phone storage"? Was connected on "USB Mass Storage" on an Ubuntu pc if that makes any difference.

All apps that were saved to SD are of course gone..

Any clue?

Edit: Titanium Backup made a back-up this morning, will I be able to re-install all the apps if I format the internal storage? Do I want to format the internal storage?

Edit 2: Titanium backup is gone too..

Edit 3: Internal Phone Storage is unmounted, phone cannot mount it.

Do I just format the damn thing, is it defect..?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DimensionSlider:
I can`t find stable Android build.

The most common issue is boot-loop or whole application list crash every minute (according to ddms SDK tool)

I tried 15-20 different builds.

Even DFT Stock Desire doesn`t work on my phone: nonstop appcrash or bootloop.

Desire, Desire HD, Desire Z builds(NAND or SD doesnt matter): bootloop or whole application list crash 1-10 times in minute

Gingerbread/Cyanogen Mod 7 (small builds) (size<100mb) boots up, starts but: freezing, applist crash from time to time(once in half-hour). More stable.

Tried builds for ClockworkMod and DAF installation builds.

GB233/CM7 are more stable then others, but they are unusable on my phone because of freezing.

I tried the same builds on my friend`s HD2 and there were no problem with stability, small issues with robovoice e.t.c not a big deal.

I download and redownload builds, flash and reflash, do everything by instruction, always same result.

I guess the problem is hardware of my device, i need some advice how to determine the part and how to fix it(maybe change something in build config files, switch kernel, recompile kernel with some modules or additional options).

BTW: SD SuperRam build worked perfectly from WinMo6.5.

WinMo 6.5 and Windows Phone 7 work smooth - no complains.

Please help me out.

Some Android SD builds write in console output:

"Single bit error. Run memory test tool".

Configuration: WinMo1.66 => Task29(HSPL 2.08) + Radio 2.15 + Magldr 1.13
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
Sounds similar to my brothers HD2 problems but significantly worse. Superram worked great on his too but when Hr tried other SD and NAND builds he had issues. We have determined it must be a hardware issue. Two of my hd2s run fine. Don't know if there's a test or anything though...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tk-Glitch:
Did you try to install ClockWorkMod Recovery and then install the rom from it ?

It fixed errors for many users.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bisis:
I think you have hardware problem, as mine.

I have continuous freezes or reboot especially when the phone is hot.

I tried to flash back also WM6.5 oem roms but nothing improved.

I tried also task29.

In my case the problem is simply retrievable... just start youtube (on every rom android/wm) and play a movie... and the phone freeze.

Today I'm calling HTC to understand how many months do they take my phone for repair!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DimensionSlider:
Is WM6.5 also unstable in your case?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] audioslim:
Think its 2 years
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DimensionSlider:
What does it mean?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bisis:
Yes. In my case even if in WM (original ROM) I've freeze and reboots. At the beginning I didn't think so but after some tests expecially surfing web or watching youtube movies (both using 3G and not WiFi) I started to see freeze and reboots.

If in your case it's not so... effectively you're in a better situation.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DimensionSlider:
I guess not :)

I could demand replacement of my device, but wm is stable more or less so this brick stays with me. :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bisis:
Did you try some stress test of the device?

I mean for example play some movies, download some youtube video, surf some complex web page, ... each time I tried by android/wm I had freeze or reboot. And as more temperature goes up as more frequent was the freeze/reboot.

Device became hot at the back-bottom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DimensionSlider:
WM:

movies: testing,

youtube embedded application: no problem

internet wifi/2g/3g: works fine

gps navitel: works

Any example of complex web page?

2ALL

Can anyone advice technic to catch and log the exceptions which occur when application dies or system_process crashes or when the system stuck?

Maybe I could use this info to contact local app or kernel developers for assistence?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bisis:
If so.. I think you're lucky.. IMHO no hardware problems.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DimensionSlider:
What else?

DFT Stock Desire doesn`t work. It works everywhere.

I redownloaded it several times from different places(home, work) to be sure that files not corrupted. I even tried different usb cables to flash it.

It is unstable as hell on my device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] samsim1:
I have a problem.

I have a /system/xbin/su with

-rw x rwsr-x

without the user sticky bit set on. But so the openvpn-settings doesn't work others do.

I have to change it with chmod 06775 /system/xbin/su so I have

-rw s rwsr-x

with user sticky bit. Openvpn-settings work fine.

But something change it back to the wrong set. I don't even need a restart. Something in background. I'm not familiar with the background processes. Has somebody a guess what can change the permission? I have /system mounted read-only too...

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] connexion2005:
Hey guys, I'm working with some things on the standard Vibrant and I'm aching to try out the Qik software you guys have with a Vibrant 4G FFC I have installed. If someone could link the apk that would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
Grab Bionix Frost on the Vibrant forums.

It includes Qik, and the correct drivers for the FFC.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] connexion2005:
Gracias ;) I'd still like the latest APK if possible though. I got a message requiring an update on that ROM for that apk and it wouldn't allow me to update.

odd. mine just updated fine.

let me pull it real quick.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] connexion2005:
Ok awesome links. The first one doesn't allow me to use the FFC but the second one does it just has a sideways orientation is all. Atleast I'm getting somewhere!

Oh and for the record, the system camera app works just fine it's just the video chat apps I'm trying to test with and see what can we can confirm working. So far that second Qik link is all I've gotten to show the FFC of the latest non-banding FFC floating around.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
both should be installed.

are you using the SGS4G FFC? or the i9k FFC?
[Epic 4G General] Blankrubber:
You know the four LEDs that light up along with the keyboard LEDs at the bottom of our phone? It pisses me off that Samsung wired these guys in with the keyboard and literally made it impossible to disable them using software fixes. And I've set it to 3 seconds but that just doesn't cut it. I want them disabled, permanently, until I decide they should be turned back on. Well, I took it to the next level.

Cutting a piece of black electrical tape to just fit over the four, bottom buttons, I place it over the LEDs and BOOM, they were gone. My eyes will no longer tear up when I'm on my phone late at night while laying in bed. No longer will the screen be set to a healthy, dim brightness only to be overpowered the four LEDs at the bottom each time my finger touches the screen.

The capacitive feature still works fine, and I've lost no functionality with this fix. I'd post a picture but I'm having some issues with my digital camera.

indeed, also for a good file manager to pull the zip, use estrongs its free lets you browse / just cant write to it (which isnt what we are looking to do)

Im looking for a nandroid backup of the stock rom after the root procedure. I forgot to do that after rooting!
[G Tablet General] HawaiiMIke:
I've been learning to be pretty carefull on apps I use since I picked up my GTablet. Weird things keep happening with my movie directories. They keep deleting the movies. For instance I tried out EFile File Manager. I've been using Rockplayer which reads local sdcard (internal memory) but doesn't ready sdcard2 (my additional mini sdmc card). So I've been using sniffer to navigate to that area then play video by clicking on the file. I grabbed EFile because I wanted and app that could copy files between internal (sdcard) and the mini sdmc (sdcard2) and the standard file apps (sniffer and file manager) don't seem to be able to do that.

However, after having a process error message on EFile and then finding my video's wiped on sdcard2 I've gotten a little more carefull about what I play around with in the market store.

For regular Viewsonic G Tablet folks is there any good file managers that would be better to use for file copies between sdcards?

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] FastKatt:
Ghost Commander is great. It has a two pane view that works really well on a tablet.
[G Tablet General] Dueces99:
I use root explorer for my everyday stuff when on just my tab, ESfile explorer to stream from my pc, and wifi file explorer for small file transfers to my tab. I couldn't decide on just one so I got all 3. Hope this helps!
[G Tablet General] nrage23:
Rockplayer will see /sdcard2. You can go into settings and set sdcard2 as default and when in sdcard2 you can hit the back button to get to the root directory from which you can see sdcard, sdcard2 and usbdisk (if you have a usb flash drive plugged in)
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
If you are using a file manager anyways to view media from your SDCard2, putting a .nomedia file in the root of your sd card2 should stop the files from being deleted. After that, you can use Rockplayer as normal to view your vid files.
[G Tablet General] gkitab:
Hands down root explorer. There is an endless amount of things it can do if you know what your doing. I've tried many. Root explorer has a plain look took it but you can do the most with it. If you are an advanced android user you can't go wrong with root explorer.
[G Tablet General] Dueces99:
I'm a stickler on file sorting settings and view settings and root explorer does a great job here. If only it also had a file directory hiearchy window so u could just jump to another folder, instead of hitting back a bunch, ah well. It suits my needs.
[G Tablet General] HawaiiMIke:
Thanks for the suggestions

Thanks,

I will give those a try!
[G Tablet General] dsholler:
There is another one called Yaffs explorer that seems to work ok as well. It has some cosmetic bugs (menus sometimes appear in French) but I have used to do things like modify build.prop without any difficulty. And (at least at the moment) it is free.
[G Tablet General] bobbob8010105:

I use ES file explorer is what i use i activate the root explorer in the settings works geat with no problems

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adambowersva:
I have been having problems with my battery life pretty much since I have had this phone. I downloaded spare parts app to give me some insight because I have also noticed several times phone seems warm even when screen has been off for some time.

As of right now today, to give an example, my phone has been unplugged for the last 10hours and I only have 44% battery left. Says display is responsible for 71% of battery use yet screen has only been on for 44min of that time (and I have the brightness turned all the way down). According to spare parts "other usage" my "running" time is cause for 35% of batter use at over 3hours.

With these things in consideration I feel that there is something that is stopping the phone from properly sleeping due to the phone being warm at times display has been off for a while and the contrast between screen on and running time. Partial wake usage doesn't show much running under it as most listed items have only a sliver of a bar showing.

Can someone please lend me some guidance on how to further troubleshoot this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Success100:
i mean that type of battery consumption doesnt seem irregular to me...im at close to 10 hours for the day and have 59% left.

Are you in a shaky signal area? Thats one reason my phone gets warm. especially if its a fringe area where it cant decide between a 3G signal or 4G signal.

In spare parts there is a option for partial wake lock. If something is stuck at 100%, then you know you yuo have a rogue app thats causing your phone not to sleep
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adambowersva:
But can you confirm it being normal to see 34% time running under other usage settings for spare parts? Partial wake usage as said doesn't show much keeping a wake lock going.

As for signal, not too sure, very rarely if ever see a 3g change over. Is usually at 4g and occassionally hitting edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] heartspains88:
WOW, you get that good of battery out of yours? that seems epic haha, i get 3-4 hours tops.. i mean i abuse it, but still..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
I charge mine at night. Ran it from 7am to 12am and it was at 34%.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adambowersva:
Yeah see...7am to 12am and 34% remaining? No way I get that.

If it werent for the results I'm posting regarding "running" percentage from spare parts other usage and the screen on time I would just accept it as a phone deemed to have bad battery life, but it seems to me like something is going on and I guess I'm looking for someone to confirm or dismiss my suspicions.

Maybe I'm also a little spoiled coming off my G2 that was rooted running CM Rom and CPU ramping/cut down which in combination gave me, under the same amount of use, a situation where I was getting home at night and still having 40-50% battery left in comparison to the 15% I commonly see now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Success100:
once some custom kernels come out that let you uv/uc/oc then i would say you can expect the same type of results..i just went on a trip with a friend who has a g2 and he was constantly crying about his battery dying, (stock), where as I only had to charge mine on average 1.5 times a day with moderate to heavy usage. I find this battery phenomenal compared to all the other android devices ive owned and tested
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] maktucali:
damn!

i charge mine every other day.. hehehe i dont abuse it or anything though.. just regular internet every few minutes or so.. i have the BETA juicedefender installed guess that helps a lot. data is off when the screen is off, set it to agressive..

here is the app hope it helps...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jkiller122:
I noticed the same problem,i brought this phone on saturday and was very impressed with the battery until yesterday night I noticed the same thing, my phone was at 50% and I had it sleeping then I get the battery low notification 10 minutes later and the back of the phone was real hot. This can't be normal cuz I have the same apps installed from 2 days ago and I was using the phone heavily even using mobile ap and still didn't have this problem, if you guys find a solution please share it with me.

[G Tablet General] beebop483:
My sentiments exactly! Although I was also kind of waiting for a firm price and release date for the Acer EEE Slider, but for $285 I couldn't pass it up. I initially bought a gtab when sears first started selling them, but after using it for a week or so, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to keep it, but not for $420(after tax). I ended up returning the Gtab. Does anyone know of any good tips/tricks to improve the viewing angle? Also are there any nice speedy 2.2/2.3 roms that allow you to disable the hardware buttons on the face of the gtab and assign a hardware button for home or back?
[G Tablet General] enigma0456:
So I'm early at the movies and I'm poking around on my droidx and I spot this post. I cruise over to wootand sure enough there it is. Do I need asecond tablet? Well, I think, then I can experiment without messing up my vegan that I'm now accustomed to using. Makes sense eh? A quick check revealed nothing close to this price elsewhere so I did the transaction all on my Droid and soon the fun will begin in earnest,.
